Consequences

As it turns out, it can be really, really challenging to explain fundamental reality to someone. While it may seem obvious to me, as an adult, that when I do something the immediate effect is that the something becomes done, it’s not nearly that cut and dry for young people. To them, it is entirely possible to love smashing cookies into dust, but still view yourself as a victim of outrageous misfortune because somehow, some way, your cookies have become smashed into dust. The act of a cruel and vindictive god, perhaps.

I guess I can’t say too much. I engage in a daily ritual of drinking coffee, and then half an hour later saying “woah, stomach’s up to something today!” like I’m new here. I am not new here! Nobody on earth should be more qualified to understand that correlation than me!

I still want that coffee though…
